    The Rule, BOM and XOM searches are Eclipse-specific.
  2. Specify patterns to find rules, tasks, functions and rule packages in the Search string field.
    3. Use * for a multi-character wildcard and ? for a single-character wildcard. This enables you to specify all or part of the name of the rule, task, function or rule package you are searching for.
  3. Select the Case Sensitive box if you want your search to be case sensitive.
    4. Select Include referenced projects if you want to conduct the search on the current project and its dependencies. If not checked, the search is only performed on the current project.
  4. In the Search for area, select the type of element you want to locate.
  5. In the Limit to area, specify that you want the search to be carried out in the Name of rules, functions, tasks and rule packages and Body for rules and functions.
  6. Click Search.
    7. The results are displayed in the Search view.

Search can also be used to search in a specific rule project element.

To search in a rule project element only:

  1. In the Rule Explorer highlight the rule project element.
  2. Open the Rule Search page in the Search dialog and set up the search.
  3. Select the scope in the Scope area:
    4. To search in all the rule projects in the workspace, select Workspace.
    To search on specific rule projects, select Selected Resources.
  4. Click Search.
    5. The results are displayed in the Search view.
